UCOE AHD SET THEM FLYING.
Let thoje who will repine at fate
, And drop their heads with sorrow ;
I laugh when cares upon me wait
I know they'll leave to-morrow
My purse is light, but what of that ?
'My heart is light to match it ;
An J if I tear my only coat,
1 laugh the while I patch it.
I re seen some elves, who call themselves
My friends in summer weather.
Blown far away, in sorrow's day
As winds would blow a feather.
I never grieved to see them go,
(The rascals, who would heed them ?)
For what's the use of having friends,
If false when most you need them ?
I've seen some rich in worldly gear,
Eternally repining,
Their hearts a prey to every fear
With gladne.3 never shinhpg.
I would not change my lightsome heart
For all their gold and sorrow;
For that's a thing that all their wealth
Can neither buy nor borrow.
And still, as sorrows come to me
As soiruws sometimes will come
I find the way to make them flee.
Is bidding them right welcome.
They cannot brook a cheerful look
They're used to sobs and sighing ; -.And
he that meets them with a smile,
la cure to set them flying. -

Patty Jane Pendricks used to smooth it
down, and say it looked like a satin ribbon
that was before she ketched me a kissin'
iary iMiiith behind a haystack, at which she
grabbed a pole, aud in flourishing it round,
got it in contact with my crannyum, and
msh alxv.it smashed all my brains out. I'at
tv had a consarned high temper, and Sam
tow that married her, has a black eye or a
wratvhed noe or a broken jaw the biggest
half of the lime. Though that is nothing
to do with Patty's temper, of course ; he's
ironMcd with the scroft'ulous nurollogy, and
that's apt to break out sometimes.

It was stuck fast ! I pulled and twisted, but

I jumped down the stairs hollowing, for

from the barn with a basket of eggs, and in
the rumpus the 022s was broke, mv nose was

But I cot by 'em at last, an I streaked it
for Aunt Jemimy's, and she let. me in, and
put some pain-killer into mv nose, and soak
ed on the restot my mirlit-cap in hot water,
and hid me under the bed when she saw my
pa and marm and old Miss Price a comin'.
I was sick for about a week, but aunt Je-
miniy nursed me like an own mother, and if
she hadn t been my aunt I should have of
fered her my hand and fortune. But I gave
her half a dozen bottles of my Bitters instid.
About one half of my head was bare, and
tother half was covered"vvith something that
lookidlike thp wool on a singed cat, and
with aunt Jemimy's advice I had the whole
affair shaved.
Then I tied my head up in a handker
chief and called on Jerushy Bean, but she
fclammed the door right in my face.
"I'd appeared before Miss Price,she said,
in a very shocking ondressed style, and she
hoped never to have her eyes blasted by the
sight of me again."
So I left her only sayin' "It might have
been."
I've got a fine crop of hair coming, and
I've hired a wig till it grows out so'e to be
decent, but if I could only have the privi
lege of giving Professor Bobb enough of my
Bitters to ?et him up a decent pain in his
stomach, 1 wouldn't grudge a quarter.
In 1SG0, by the census, there were 70,000
black people living in Pennsylvania. Prob
ably, the number has been increased to S0,-
000. Philadelphia has, a larger number
than any other county, chat is 28,000. They
support seventeen churches, worth $225,-
000, with a membership of 5,440, and ,
700 Sunday-school scholars. They have
twelve or fifteen free schools, with a daily
average attendance ot 2,200. There are
thirtv-four negroes in the city whose com
bined wealth amounts to one million three
hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollars.
The richest man is Stephen Smith, a lum
ber merchant. He owns seventy-five houses
in fee simple, and is worth not less than
three hundred thousand dollars. Harris
Lindsay, a bounty broker during the war, is
worth two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. Five artists ' and a number of excel
lent musicians receive distinguished men
tion. Among the latter is the "Black
Swan."
Salt Lake City is one of the most beauti
fully laid out cities in the world. The
streets are very wide, with water running
through nearly every one of them. Every
block is surrounded with beautiful shade
trees, and almost every house has its neat
little orchard of apple, peach, apricot and
cherry trees. In fact, the whole nine square
miles is almost one continued orchard.
New and rich gold mines i.ave been dis
covered in. the Salmon river region, and
trains have left Salt Lake City for the scene
of excitement.
Price of Liberty.

Liberty was the subject of their traffic. The
one sells Iieedom for ? 1,801) and pockets
the monev with a feeling of satisfaction, the
other pays the price feeling that freedom is I
better than money, lhis is the nobler man
of the two. liut what motive could induce
a poop slave, who did not even own himself,
to toil in extra hours day and night for the
long period that it would be necessary to la
bor in order to raise $1,800? He knew
that it would not in the slightest degree im
prove his social standing, lie wras well
aware that it would bring him .under the op
eration of the cride for free people of color,
which in many respects was more oppressive
and cruel than the slave code. He knew
that his emancipation would not release wife
or children from bondage and consequently
would not exempt from fear of separation
from them. Yet without a single personal.
social or political privilege connected with
his frcedoui, he was willing to labor lonsr
and severely to raise the large sum of $ 1,800,
to secure the ownership of his own bodvand
soul. ' No blazoned motto of "Liberty or
DeatVso emphatically and clearly demon
strates the love of freedom, as the poor
slave's payment of 1,800 for the privilege
of conscious freedom, thouch that freedom
was yet restricted ana hampered by the most
iniquitous and meanest code ever framed.

An Extinct Hack. One of the most re
markable races that ever inhabited the earth
is now extinct. They were known as the
Guanches, and were the aborigines of the
Canary Islands. In the sixteenth century,
pestilence, slavery, and the cruelty of the
Spaniards succeeded in totally extermina
ting them. They are described as having
oeen gigantic in stature, tmt ol a singula .-
mud and gentle nature. 1 heir food consist
ed of barley, wheat, and goats' milk, and
their agriculture was of the rudest kind
They had a religion which taught them of
rewards and punishment after death, and of
good and evil spirits, lhey regarded the
volcano of Teneriffe as a punishment for
the bad. The bodies of the dead were
carefully embalmed and -deposited in cata-
comhs, which still continue to be an object
of curiosity to those who visit the islands.
Their marriage rites were very solemn, and
before cnffa.srinG; in them the brides were
fattened on milk. At the present day these
strange people are totally extinct.
What a Good Newspaper May Do.
Show us an intelligent family of boys and
girls, and we will show you a family where
newspapers and periodicals are plentiful.
Nobody who has been without these silent
private tutors can know their educating
power lor good or evil. Have you ever
thought of the innumerable topics of dis
cussion which they suggest at the breakfast
table ; the important public measures with
which, thus early, our children tacome fa
miliarly acquainted ; great philanthropic
questions of the day, to which unconsciously
their attention is awakened, and the general
spirit of intelligence which is evoked by
these quiet visitors? Anything that makes
home pleasant, cheerful and chatty, thins
the haunts of vice, aud the thousand and
one avenues of temptation, should certainly
be regarded, when we consider its influence
on the minds of the young, as a great moral

A Dutchman in Canada had two pigs, a
large one and a small one, the smaller one
being the elder, he was trying to explain to
a customer, and did it in this wise : "The
little pig is the piggest" Upon which his
wife assuming to correct him, said: "You
vill hi ease excuse him, he no speak as goot
English as me ; he no mean te leetle pig is
the piggest, but the youngest pig is the old

cent financial losses of which cotton alone,
in the past three months, has furnished ?

It asserts that "the amount of. money al
